Reportedly available for £20m: Why Everton must sign Arsenal 22-year-old

2016-17 form

Last season, Chambers starred for loan side Middlesbrough as he formed a partnership with highly-rated defender Ben Gibson in an attempt to keep Boro in the top flight of English football.

The Arsenal ace helped the Teesside club keep eight clean sheets in 27 league and cup fixtures, in a side that were expected to lose more matches than they won.

If brought to Everton, Chambers’ ability on the ball as well his aerial prowess and defensive intelligence would prove crucial at the back in a defence that already boasts the likes of Ashley Williams and Keane.
